I keep reading about how hybrid cars and compact fluorescent lightbulbs can reduce the production of greenhouse gases, but I have yet to see an article about the savings that could be achieved if we were to stop delivery of newspapers and magazines and do all of our news reading on line.

For example, The New Republic has a nice "Good Citizen's Guide to Reducing Global Warming" -- PDF -- but they never say you really ought to cancel your subscription to the physical magazine The New Republic and read on line. You should still pay them for full access on-line, and you should buy TimesSelect for the NYT, but isn't it shameful to have this whole stack of newsprint delivered every day?

Don't worry--newspapers and magazines will get right on those articles, just as soon as their entertainment sections pick up this story from the Hollywood wires.
